Assistant Research Scientist (PREP0004370)

Job description

Description PREP Research Associate: This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that its research staff may want to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and, therefore, requires those institutions to be recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program involves staff from a wide range of backgrounds conducting scientific research across various fields. Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research. Research Title: SI meets AI: Neural Network-powered Digital Twin for Advancing Primary Standards The work will entail: We propose to develop physics- and empirically informed digital twin representations for high-impact SI realizations of mass, voltage, and resistance that are advancing towards commercialization. Leveraging recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), including neural networks and digital twins, we expect to bypass the conventional, iterative prototyping and development cycle. Rather than taking decades to achieve an optimal design, our digital twi...
